Abstract

The APF Gold Medal for Impact in Psychology recognizes Robert M. Sellers for his inventive work in racial identity and his demonstration of excellence in mentorship. Sellers conceptualized a new framework of racial identity that impacted the way that racial identity was studied, opening the field for new examinations of the impact and effects of race in different situations and as an element of one's self-concept. Dr. Sellers further opened new doors in psychology by developing young psychologists, particularly those of color, demonstrated in part through the Center for the Study of Black Youth in Social Contexts that he established at the University of Michigan, wherein scholars from multiple disciplines can translate scholarly research into social action.
